Awesome! Go for it, Josh.

So, if you want to be technical, you can sign up at NaNoWriMo.org. For me, the site’s a helpful motivator because once I start writing, there’s no way I can quit before the progress bar’s all the way filled up. On the downside, the forums are not a terribly healthy environment, and I don’t recommend them.

But you’re also welcome to do it on your own, in which case you could start early if you like. Personally, I’m convinced that it’s utterly inspiring and helpful for word counts to make yourself wait until 12:01 am, November 1st. I can usually get a good chunk of writing in before bedtime.

Just go for what works, though! And have a blast with it. Oh…and, uh, don’t blame me for any ensuing Crazy Writer Syndrome. *grin*

You have convinced me to give Nano a go this year! Last year I was very tempted, and this year I think I’ll try it. Do you actually join a forum or put your name on a list or something? I don’t think I’ll go that far, but still, 50,000 words in a month, here I go!

Since I’m inspired now, I think that I better start my story before November begins. I mean, I know it’s cheating, but if I don’t, my inspiration will probably drop and I’ll quit before I start.

So there you have it.

Josh.

You are very brave to do Nano. *grins* I tried it last year, and, well, it didn’t really work out.=/ I didn’t have a story prepared, so I came up with a really bad one on the spot. I might attempt it next year though.
God Bless You,

Um…well, I’ll be optimistic and say maybe I’ll post some excerpts on here during November. But we shall see.

wow….have fun with it. And don’t forget to take time to breath. Not to mention the fact that school is important as well.

Can I see it when it’s done?

God bless you and your writing!
